“I’m fascinated by the Aurora case, it hasn’t been completely solved. I don’t think it was alien.”
“There are airship sightings from the west coast to the east coast, detailed – granular-level details of this. So, there’s no question that this is something that happened. It’s real, it did take place.
“Author Noe Torres, he’s done some very good work and written multiple books on 1896-1897. He wrote a whole series on them.”
“The one thing that really gets my attention is the beaming spotlights that were coming down from these craft. Wright Brothers was December 17th, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. So, we’re talking long before the Wright Brothers, these things were flying around. To have a power generating unit on something that hovers and flies, literally silently, needs to be explained. Where did they get the power source for these beaming spotlights in the 1896-1897 timeframe? That’s the first thing we need to figure out. If they were battery powered, how could they levitate? Because we’re talking about some very heavy batteries. You’d need something powerful in order to lift that up. The fact that the people who were “flying” these things, they were well-dressed eccentric inventor types. They were wearing suits, tophats. There were big black dogs seen on the decks of these things. They were lowering anchors down, they startled horses. Covered wagons were flipped over, there was total chaos in the streets. No one could figure out what these things were, and my question is, “where are they now?” Did they burn up in a barn? There are so many things to explain. The sighting of the one that landed in daylight, where civilians walked up to the pilot, and they said he was wearing smoked glasses. Its in the report here*
“So, when you put that all together, and the things that Walter Bosley has exposed about the Sonora Aero Club, and how they were basically connected to NYMZA in New York, who may have been financed from Germany. You can kind of track the lineage. During the California Gold Rush, in the 1849 timeframe, there were only 12,000 people in the entire state of California. It was completely deserted, not how it is now. So, one of the avenues that might need to be explored is, were they trying to figure out how to transport gold from the gold fields of Northern California to the East Coast and do it covertly. That could be one way they could do it and bypass the railroads.”
“If you do research on Oaxaca, Mexico, they had sightings in 1856, prior to, and we’ve got reports of a large trumpet hovering over the city where thousands of people saw this thing. This is long before the modern age of ufology. So, whatever or whoever these things are, or whoever they belong to, there’s a historical lineage that goes way before June 24th, 1947 with Kenneth Arnold. That’s something that we need to keep in mind, that this dates prior to so much prior to World War II. This is nothing new, and it’s been going on for so long. It’s part of our history, part of our historical legacy.”
“These reports go on and on, I just don’t think we’re looking at an extraterrestrial spacecraft here. Not when you have anchors coming down, and dogs on the decks of these ships, men wearing tophats. I think we’re looking at a man-made technology, a covert man-made technology that has not quite yet to be explained even today.”
“The Aurora, Texas case, it’s part of the whole legacy here, but what I think we need to do is go back to what the witnesses are telling us. That’s critical because the details are definitely within the witness. Now, was that an ET or a man? Who knows? We’re so far removed now. Even if you talk about the Hudson Valley Boomerang, that was ‘82-’89, even those sightings are long since forgotten now, which I think is so sad. It’s just so far removed in history now, and we’re going back to 1896, how do we know these reports that we’re getting are accurate? It’s so difficult to know. So, I certainly can’t claim to be the expert on the Aurora case. I’m just taking these cases and witness reports and then putting them together as a whole, and then we can draw a more accurate rendition of what might be going on here.”
“I’ve got to believe it’s a man-made technology, it can’t be an ET thing. Not when you have what the eye witnesses are reporting. It’s just something we’re not familiar with, that’s all.”
“I think it’s important to remember what Walter Bosley talked about in his book, and what he does is he traces the historical legacy, starting with the 1896-1897 mystery airship wave. He keeps following the breadcrumbs of technology and how it’s changed throughout the years, getting into the 1950’s with the gravity research, then into the triangles, the boomerangs, and how the configurations changed over the decades. He makes a great case connecting the dots and the tapestry of the technology throughout the decades, and I think it makes a great case that it’s a man-made technology. It’s definitely a man-made technology. The configurations are changing, we don’t see all that many discs, but we see triangles and boomerangs. The late Stanton Friedman talked about how lights on UFOs can only be for decoration, why would they need lights? Why would extraterrestrials, who are a hundred-million light-years ahead of us in technology and space and time, why would they need blinking lights that are red, yellow, blue, green, that blink off and flash in sequence? That can only be for decoration, what that means is it’s a man-made technology. We’re looking at a man-made technology, that’s just how it goes down.
“Go back to the artwork of Charles Dellschau and what he had done with the Sonora Aero Club, he mentioned in the artwork that they had solved the gravity problem. They were able to put something together they called NB Gas which negates gravity, and that’s all they said about it. That’s as detailed as it got. So, we’re left with these beautiful color drawings and illustrations trying to crack the code, and if you have covert money and financing involved by an elite group somewhere in Germany, we’re probably not going to know about it. This goes on all the time, you’ve got secret societies, classified funding, multiple billions in gold. Difficult to track it, but when you put it all together, looking at all the evidence. All the newspaper clippings, all the eyewitness sightings, what these people are reporting. It’s advanced but not advanced enough to be extraterrestrial. It’s just not, becuase these things were not seen to depart like a spark on a grinding wheel with no sonic boom. That’s not how they performed. So, it’s concurrent with a classified, somewhat-hidden technology but not an ET technology.”
“The United States Government is trying to rebrand UFOs as “UAP”, and they’re trying to make anything prior to 2004 non-existant, but the cases of the 1897 mystery airship wave, we won’t let them get away with it. There is a gigantic body of evidence, long before 2004 of everything here. You can go to NICAP.org and you can type in 1947 flap, and there are hundreds and hundreds of cases. You can do the same thing with 1952 and it’s actually bigger than 1947. What about all of those cases? What about the gun camera footage from World War II, from Vietnam, from the Gulf War? All of that can’t be denied, that’s long before 2004. We’ve got reports from B-36 crewmembers that are at the southern tip of North Dakota where they are just below forty thousand feet, and a large 100-foot-diameter disc-shaped craft is hovering off the left wing. They got this all on handheld photographs. So, all of that can’t be denied and there’s no telling the amount of evidence, gun camera footage, black and white glossy photos, motion picture film reel footage, still camera footage, from pilots. All that evidence coming together as a full body of some of the most conclusive physical evidence. That can’t be denied. That cannot be swept under the carpet and people in research field, we won’t let them get away with it.”
